Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun...

Oh boy, has another week past already without a new post? Sorry about that! I would say that we will get better and post more often, but I can't promise anything :) Let's see, what exciting things are going on with us? Allie and Brooke are getting back on a "regular" schedule. See previous post if you are wondering what I'm talking about. Allie has been doing great lately with her crawling attempts. She is still army crawling really well, and she is rocking more and more in a crawling position. I'll bet she is crawling very soon. Watch out Brooke! Remember all those times you stole Allie's toys and quickly crawled away, knowing that she couldn't catch you? Allie is going to get you back! Brooke has been crawling for about 2 and a half months now, so Allie has lots of toy stealing to catch up on!

Can you believe the girls will be one in a few weeks? That absolutely blows my mind to think about! It is amazing how much they have grown in one year. Brooke is about 18 pounds now and Allie is about 19.5 pounds. That's quite a bit bigger than the 2 pounds where they started. We are beyond blessed at their progress over the last year. We knew that there would be delays, but our girls are healthy and happy and bring us SO much joy! God's mercy and grace is MORE than abundant!

We had so much fun last week with some new twin friends, Kaelyn and Shae, and their mommy, Ashley. We all met for lunch and then had fun playing at the mall play area. We all had so much fun! Here are some pics from the last week:

Cutie pie, Shae (Ashley, correct me if I'm wrong :)

Kaelyn sitting on the foamy floor trying to decide where to play first!


Brooke taking in the big play area between Kaelyn and Shae.

Brooke taking a breather before crawling all over the place!

Allie is cheering on all the girls!


Both girls sitting on the sidelines away from the all the madness

Poor Allie...gotta get crawling soon so she can keep up with the others!

Brooke giving a quick pose for the camera!

Brooke and either Kaelyn or Shae. Definitely can't tell them apart without seeing their faces :) I bet their mommy can though!

Allie reading up on some educational information...

Brooke: Thanks, mom, my hair is a mess and there is snot running down my face!

Look at Brooke's sweet little face staring right into the camera! Allie looks intrigued by something on the floor.

Please note that the following captions were typed by dad :) Ya never know, someone might have wondered about that!


Allie mesmorized by the little orange bath toy...or is she in shock at the sight of Dad's Big Foot hairy legs!?

Brooke chilling in her little summer outift. For the girls reading this...it is a cute outift...for the guys reading...how about the Cowboys sticking it to the Broncos?


We finally found a good use for the Boppy! Some how, some way Mom was supposed to use that blue monster wrap around pillow thing to feed the girls at the same time...never happened. So many easier options...


Now that is one way to make sure Allie stays sitting up! The kids really enjoy our "Dining room." Mom N' Dad sacrifice each night eating on TV trays in order for the girls to have a play area that is all their own!



Both girls are trying to feed themselves. And what I mean by trying, I mean sticking the bottle in their mouths for about .4 seconds and then slamming the bottles down making a real fun noise that could make the hardest soldier have flashbacks of a mortar attack!
